    New: Here's why the Austin Street rebuild is taking so long to complete
    City street under construction with orange cones and distant yellow machinery. A blue hydrant sits on a grassy median; pale blue sidewalk runs beside a black fence near a tree. A sign reading "Paint is not a bike lane" sits on a utility pole
    Austin Street project cost more than expected — and it's behind schedule
